the 10 most overrated albums of all time

[brokenddd]

1 sgt pepper - the beatles - yawn
2 loveless - my bloody valentine - nice in parts but not the classic it's been called. Unlistenable in parts.
3 arctic monkeys debut - ranked no 5 in NME's "all time" indie list - hahaha
4 Surfer Rosa - the pixies - nice in parts but not a great album, and not the classic the press say it is
5 a northern soul - the verve - 3 or 4 nice songs, and a pile of steaming crap. Overwrought, uppity nonsense.
6 almost every david bowie album ever - he's done some great songs, but the albums don't really stack up too well
7 green - rem - progressive folk music. Hmmmph.
8 screamadelica - primal scream - 3 or 4 great songs and 6 tedious ambient tunes that sound like they were done on a casio keyboard does NOT make a great album
9 revolver - the beatles - yawn (always ranked number 2 in all-time lists - is lyrically close to take that, and musically drab)
10 blonde on blonde - bob dylan - some nice tunes but an "all time great?" I think not.

With the exception of The f***ing Verve, I totally disagree. I think I would hate to own your CD collection.

 

[runar]

Any album by U2

 

[Snug]

Now, you, I agree with.

 

[darKest staR]

Yessss, every single album by the Beatles in my top ten list..

Re: Yessss, every single album by the Beatles in my top ten list..

You are the Quarry. At least by people here anyway.
One good song at most.

anything from Nirvana,

 

[Codreanu]

A few off the top of my head:

The Clash - "London Calling"
Lou Reed - "Berlin"
Paul McCartney - "Ram"
REM - "Automatic for the People"
Big Star "Third/Sister Lovers" (some great songs, but NOT the damaged masterpiece bruited by critics)
Iggy Pop - "The Idiot"
Any album by The Rolling Stones or Grateful Dead.

 

[Glad to be grey]

Hey Cod! I thought you were one of the good guys! I can see where you are coming from with your list, but we must keep "Caroline Says II" from Berlin, at least.

Really, ALL Beatles albums are overrated, even the best ones (like The White Album). I'm with you on Sgt Pepper; never liked it.

 

[Nigger 2x4]

You People are f***ing Retarded

and have bad taste in music.

The verve - Urban Hymns is plodding and boring. Stone Roses records, extremely ordinary. Also, everything U2 have ever done - the most dull rock band ever in the world, yet unbelievably seen as credible artists.

Oh, and Arctic Monkeys - ok record but just the music industry jumping on an indie bandwagon like they do every year, Kaiser Chiefs, Libertines and Franz in past years. All decent records with the exception of the crap Kaisers, but not classics.
